Selinda C Joyner

Selinda C. Joyner serves as a Contracting Officer within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), where she plays a critical role in executing the acquisition lifecycle for naval aviation systems. Responsible for soliciting, awarding, and managing contracts aligned with NAVAIR’s mission to develop, test, and sustain air superiority capabilities, she handles complex procurements for aircraft systems, avionics, propulsion components, and mission-critical support services. Her portfolio encompasses full-spectrum acquisitions—from research and development to sustainment and logistics—ensuring operational readiness for Navy and Marine Corps aviation platforms. She works closely with engineering, program management, and logistics teams to align contracting strategies with technical requirements and fiscal constraints. Joyner maintains consistent procurement relationships with leading defense contractors including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, partnering primarily with prime contractors who deliver advanced aerospace systems, propulsion technologies, and integrated avionics. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established industry leaders with proven track records in delivering high-performance, mission-essential equipment under stringent military specifications. These relationships are characterized by long-term sustainment contracts and technical support agreements, often involving performance-based logistics and integrated product teams. Her set-aside preferences show a strong emphasis on full and open competition, with 97.1% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is limited to 2.9%, it is strategically targeted through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a disciplined approach that prioritizes mission capability while maintaining compliance with statutory requirements. Joyner’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), followed by aircraft engine manufacturing (336412) and aeronautical system manufacturing (334511). She routinely acquires flight-critical components, flight control systems, and mission-specific instrumentation, demonstrating deep expertise in aerospace systems integration and defense procurement compliance.
